Youth opportunities at Fulham frustrate Darren Bent

Share via

Darren Bent has expressed his frustration at being overlooked by Felix Magath,
the Fulham manager, who played three forwards under the age of 20 ahead of
the England forward during the 3-1 defeat by Everton on Sunday.

Bent said he was fully fit despite taking a knock in training on Thursday but
his manager suggested otherwise, leaving him on the substitutes’ bench at
Craven Cottage.

Moussa Dembele made his first start in the defeat, while Patrick Roberts and
Cauley Woodrow came on in the second half. Bent has played only 15 minutes
from the bench in his past three games
